Full-text search

Please agree to the following

Summary

Add full-text search so that contents of files is searchable

Motivation

Even though this feature request is quite self-explanatory, I'm fully aware that this is an enormous development task. I just wanted to put it out there because I've received a feature request via email and I noticed that it was mentioned in a comment in the past https://github.com/cryptomator/android/issues/94#issuecomment-479498145.

Issue #94 could be a prerequisite because the underlying implementations of a recursive search over filenames could be useful for a full-text search index.

Considered Alternatives

I'm not sure what a Document Provider might bring to the table. Maybe we don't even need to implement our own full-text search index.

Anything else?

I am also missing full text search possibility in Cryptomator for Android. Can please add a way to search at least inside .txt files ?
